December 2014

Here’s a couple that have been on the burner. “Broken Jetsam Redux” is the result of a recent delve into reworking old print remnants that accumulate around the studio. Prints are an interesting paradox, as they serve as a lingering reminder of old work. Print fragments, damaged prints or other print experiments loiter around often past the initial inspiration, and can force new perspective on a finished idea. They’re also a rewarding way to revisit older themes with new technical and emotional directions. In any case, here is one case of that. I’m sure it won’t be the last, they are intriguing studies to make.

The second piece, “Vincent” is one of many new directions I’m tackling for the new year. Look for similar works on the horizon as I further experiment with color, form and the ubiquitous visage of the human face. Enjoy!

In wrapping up the last bits from 2014, I have a few more small pieces that will be available in the shop in the next few days. The first is “Natural Selection” a small painting that was one of the first studies for my recent “Overgrowth” show which will be on view at Last Rites Gallery until tomorrow. I hope to have more for you soon as I come up from the holidays. Best wishes to everyone for the rest of 2014 and a prosperous 2015!
